Tim Farrell/The Star LedgerJersey City product and former St. Peter's Prep star Will Hill played in the Arena Football League last season.

Eleven days ago, on Aug. 21, Tom Coughlin said “it’d be a nice story” if Will Hill could somehow make the Giants 53-man roster. The Jersey City native was enjoying a standout training camp fresh off a journey that had him go from a star at St. Peter’s Prep and Florida to suspended in 2010, undrafted in 2011 and the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena Football League last season.
